The bolder palette: pillarbox red, mustard yellow and black, spun together in a single rope so the colours rotate around each other rather than sitting in blocks. The closest the range gets to graphic. Reads warm at a distance, then resolves into stripes.
The construction is the same as every cotton lead in the workshop. Strands measured by hand, looped, then twisted under controlled tension so the finished rope carries a small amount of give. The bounce is not decorative. It softens the moment a dog lunges and shows mercy on the hand at the other end.
Stainless steel hardware, eye-splice finish (the strongest joinery available in rope-making, far harder to pull apart than any knot of the same fibre). Approximately 1.2m end to end, with about 1.03m from the base of the handle to the metal clip.

Gem Bowes learned to make rope at Arthur Beale, the Shaftesbury Avenue chandlery that has been splicing line since 1500-something. She works now from a Cambridge studio, hand-spinning flax and dead-stock yarn for dog leads, doorstops, juggling balls.
